A list of actual calling frequencies might be hard to create but it depends on which bands you are interested in.
The FL band limits are in the LCD so those are the extremes, but refer to the Australian band plans at http://www.wia.org.au/members/bandplans/data/
See also Repeater info at http://www.wia.org.au/members/repeaters/about/ as that can help you figure out any CTCSS tone requirements for access.
Any frequencies listed below are only very approximate. "Spin the knob" to actually search for activity.
On 80 metres, SSB is usually to be found from about 3.580 to 3.650 MHz, mostly late afternoon and night
On 40 metres, SSB is usually to be found from about 7.080 to 7.140 MHz, mostly mornings, late afternoon and then night-time for DX
On 15 metres, SSB is usually to be found from about 21.150 to 21.300 MHz but propagation (other than to South East Asia (eg Japan) or maybe the USA) is poor at the moment and very dependant on time of day/night.
On 10 metres, SSB is usually to be found from about 28.350 to 28.600 MHz but propagation is poor at the moment, not much to be heard or worked regardless of time of day/night.
On 2 metres, SSB calling is 144.100 mornings and nights with minimal activity during the middle of the day. FM operation is usually via local repeaters with an optional simplex calling on 146.500, almost any time of day.
On 70cm, SSB calling is 432.100 mornings and nights with minimal during the day. FM operation is usually via local repeaters with an optional simplex calling on 439.000, almost any time of day.
Lots of other info on the WIA web site under the "For Members" tab at http://www.wia.org.au
Hope that helps...
